Review #41: Nathan Foley

[OhhDeledio]

Really popular player, but I think the majority of the fans think that he is past his prime. I don't think we will see the same Foley of a few years ago but I think he can still be a very important player for us.

Where do you think he is at?

 

[Craze]

Love Axel but if he's in the side then a few blokes are injured or haven't come on.

 

[OhhDeledio]

We could probably squeeze him in somewhere. Maybe as the sub for a bit and then ease him into it.

 

[Bojangles17]

Can't see him returning just yet, Lennon next up I would have thought

 

[tunksy]

imo he'll hang up the boots come end of year. but is ideal depth. hope hes prepared to take a pay cut.

 

[OhhDeledio]

Has anyone got his contract status?

 

[tropicaltiger]

He's a little gun and he aint done with yet, im expecting him to be straight in when right and will be a permanent fixture and intergral part in our finals assualt. Axel, Sheds and Miles to provide a feast of Sherrin for Cotch, Lids, Ellis, and Dusty.

If he cant recapture his really good form, then fair enough, but of late, he had lost his pace, couldn't win the ball, couldn't run very well, and his disposal had got worse. Just cursed by injury. Looks cooked to me, but I am hopeful.

Retirement.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Definately best 22. We still play less talented players than him in the team

Who is not as good an onballer as an injured Foley?

 

[GoTigers2015]

He loves the wet, I think can play an important role for us this season, but very much a fringe player. Like to see the youngster displace him at some point.

 

[TigerTank]

Not playing Foley is folly.

 

[Wacky Tiger]

I have far more faith in him than Knights and would prefer to see him in the side when fit over him anyday.

That said hes borderline best 22 now and really we need to be getting the likes of Lennon in on the big stage

 

[Jimmybob]

Barely seen him play (or atleast get a proper run) in the past couple years, so not really sure where he's at in terms of ability nowadays. Would like to see him get a proper injury free run again before letting him roast.

 

[Stylo]

How would he go as a defensive small forward? Surely better than Morris

Mybe but he cant kick to save himself, so its the same problem others have labelled at Morris.

I reckon he's a significantly better kick than Morris. He's shown a bit of goal sense in the past too where Morris has none

Not sure he has the pace for that.

Is depth pure and simple. His biggest strength from his time as an elite mid was his breakaway pace. Without that is just a small average player.

His contact expires at the end of the year which was priced if he was an elite player so it'll be great to get that cost off our books.

I'd really love us recruit an aboriginal small forward. You know. Natural.

He's a more natural and smarter footballer than Morris.

Shane Edwards and Nathan Drummond


If only Troy Taylor had worked out, he would have been electric in our side.

We've been crying out for someone in this position and Dimma comes up with Steven Morris......

Waiting for Rioli jnr. Think he is 14 this year.

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

I voted still in best 22. Something about Foley that I still hold onto. I love his clearance work in tight just wish he still has some of that pace left.
